Help, unhappy with dental crowns. What should I ask for? Should I go somewhere else? (Photo)

15parkerrSep 4, 2018
I got these crowns today. They have no dimension and my natural teeth are a lot more translucent. They are also sitting too far forward. I selected the color with the dentist and it matched but on the crowns it doesn’t. I have another appointment to discuss what to do about it. Because a lab made them I am concerned that if I have the lab redo them it will be the same result. They said I can ask for specific things from the lab. What should I specifically ask for/should I just go somewhere else?
